Further, the road brings us on Zaplana, where we at first drive through the settlement Prezid, and then we get to a crossroad, where the road from Vrhniški klanec joins. Here we continue sharply left and we are for some time still ascending, and then the road flattens and past the chapel brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue on the bottom left road in the direction of Zaplana (right tower).

Path description:
From the church, we at first cross the road, and then we diagonally ascend on at first a rocky cart track. The path quickly passes into the forest through which it continues to the nearby new houses. At the houses, we step on the road, and then we quickly get to a marked crossing, where we continue left in the direction of the tower (straight Lintvern, right the road which descends to the lower part of Zaplana).
Further, we walk on the macadam road which for some time continues without large changes in altitude, and then it starts gradually descending. After few minutes of descent, we get to the spot, where a marked path on Ulovka branches off sharply to the left, and only few steps ahead also to the crossroad, where we continue on the right road in the direction of the tower on Planina nad Vrhniko. We continue on the road which is short time still descending gently, after that from the left joins the path from Stara Vrhnika and Kuren. Only a short ascent follows and the path brings us to the cottage Zavetišče na Planini nad Vrhniko.
If we want, we can on our own responsibility ascend also on the nearby lookout tower.
